How to Get CFE Power for a New Factory in Tijuana

1. Load data and site sketch

Address or industrial park, estimated load or equipment list, drawings if available, new building or load increase, and the target power date.

2. Feasibility and application with CFE

CFE reviews the request and defines the service conditions. CFE publishes its requirements for medium-voltage service; check the current version before applying.

3. Customer-side works

Substation or service preparation, panels and grounding, built by your contractor. See electrical substations in Tijuana and medium voltage field work.

4. UVIE verification when required

The installation is verified against NOM-001-SEDE by an independent UVIE.

5. Contract and energization

The supply contract, any guarantee deposit and the energization are handled by CFE.

US headquarters often send drawings based on the NEC. In Mexico the installation must comply with NOM-001-SEDE, and that is what the UVIE verifies. Plan time to review the drawings against the Mexican standard before construction.
